Learn & Earn Online at DCCC

Free Tuition, Free Books, No Fees!

Thanks to the leadership of the North Carolina General and Governor’s Office Assembly, North Carolina high school students can earn college credits through a special Learn & Earn Online initiative. Registration for these courses is currently under way. Check with your guidance counselor if you are interested — even if your school’s formal course registration deadline has passed.

Qualified students in participating high schools can take a variety of online college credit courses at no cost to them or to their families. Students can earn both high school and college credit for completed courses.
